An investigation of the feasibility of using aerial imaging techniques for verifying precisely the positions of aids to navigation was conducted. It was determined that such a method is technically feasible using cartographic aerial photography and precise photogrammetric data reduction. However, such a system would be impractical and expensive for Coast Guard use on a routine basis. (Author)
